🆕Genie Garage Door Opener Dip Switch 912 Remote Programming

Old Genie garage door openers use a sequence of dip switches to program the receiver on the motor to work with the door opener remote control.

When the positions of the 9 or 12 dip switches in the remote fail to match the dip switch positions on the opener, the garage door will not operate when you press the remote button. Change the dip switches in the garage door opener to a random pattern rather than placing all the switches in the up or in the down position. This can protect against thieves matching your dip switch sequence.

Thanks for checking out Genie Garage Door Opener Dip Switch Remote Programming video.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this. I move in to a house, and the garage door has no remote. So I called a company, and the guy quoted me $150 labor and $42 for a remote. After watching your video, I'm going to buy one in Amazon.

This was super helpful!! Moved into a house last year with 3 car garage and only 2 remotes. Your video helped me program the garage door with the missing remote to an existing remote. Then changed the dip switches on the garage door opener (so the old remote, if found won't work on it w/o being reprogrammed). Then used that remote to program the garage door (with the missing remote) to my homelink in my car. Change the remote back to the original garage door opener.

I have an antique opener Genie pro 9800 and LOVE your video. I would like to know if with such an old opener I can use a 912 keychain remote? Thanks a bunch for the great video!!

My is a linear old dip switch. Do you have a video on that? Thank you

Can I change the dip switches on the motor and matched to the universal remote control?
I just bought a home, and the previous owner don't give me any remotes for the garage, its only for security purposes.
Thank you Sir!!!

I have a 1992 blue max model 12A garage door opener and I don’t see any dip switches on it. I have a genie 912 remote control with 12 dip switches but now I’m confused. Please help, thank you. My other garage door works fine with the original blue max remote. When we bought the house one remote was missing.

Great video.. I always wondered how to do that

I have the same & for some reason I have to suddenly press the button on the remote 15-20 times before the garage door finally closes. I've replaced two batteries inside the remote & it didn't make any difference. Any idea why this is happening? I've done nothing unsual with the remote, it literally just stopped working over night. It's embarrassing to have to pull out of my garage & sit there clicking the remote for 5mins before it finally engages.

I have Bluemax with 12 dip switches. I got a LiftMastet 375UT remote, same as what the technician programmed for me. I matched the dip switches on the new remote but it still doesn’t work. Do I need to click the small button inside the remote first?

How do you program car built in garage door opener without learn button? I have exact same opener

[chicofun]

can i use a new programmable Genie key pad remote opener with this model? I don't see a programmable button on the equipment

[alexthecam]

Is there a way to program the dip switches with a homelink in a car?

[adriandorzi]

I have the same, but the remote signal is too week. Have to stand closer to work. Please any suggestions 🙏

BUT, how do program an entry keypad to this GenieMax opener?!

[MP-njqy]

I brought a deep switch remote and it works great. The only problem I have with it is the battery doesn't even last two weeks. I just brought a WiFi garage door opener, but it turned out that the deep switch system doesn't have a learn button. Is there a way to program a deep switch garage door opener with a WiFi system? Thanks on advance.

What about the intellicode keypad? Set to the same Code I assume? I’ve tried but it doesn’t work.
